A very interesting thread with some excellent comments and insight.
I enjoy reading offshore cruising books by such people as John Kretschmer which
stir my imagination, so the thought of taking my C&C 35 Mk 3 offshore is in the
back of my mind. A cruise down the coast to
San Francisco, San D

The trip down the west coast would be fun. Have
you considered joining the Coho Hoho to San

people to sail down to Mexico and then truck

I'm guilty of bragging about the competition crushing speed of my 34+ and
her 40 footer like accommodations but I also came close to making an offer
on a Hunter 37.5.
If you google it a bit, you'll find a guy who's circumnavigated a few times
over on a Hunter 37.5.

I also enjoy the Kretschmer books and his lessons learned, though I'm glad not
to be onboard during his "adventures". IIRC, He prefers more comfortable
performance cruisers like Hylas boats or his Skye 47.
Was surprised to see your circumnavigator is using a Najad, not a C&C, though a

John drove my boat through Hurricane Bob when it was new. It was named
Northern Lights. He has written about the experience in a couple of his
books. He's a great storyteller and a great guy.

I'm just entering Chesapeake Bay on my Baltic 47 (Hey, the first Baltics were
C&Cs and I still love my old 40). I've just done 4000 miles on her since I left
Newport in November. Her offshore chops are what I expected from a boat of this
quality and as a bonus I've had some terrific, fun sailing
three-card game, but it has nothing to do with
either Hunter or Beneteau.

Be careful what you wish for. Or better, what you actually want in a sailboat.
One of my closest friends and racing buddies owned a Beneteau 40.7 and raced it
extensively. Some years ago he was caught out short on the delivery back from
Key West Race Week and I filled in on the leg from Beaufort
Hi Dave,
That's a shame about your friend's boat. I'm surprised that the Coast Guard
couldn't use their portable pumps to save the boat. Must be more to the story.
They must have lost control of the rudder to call the Coast Guard, and couldn't
secure it so it worked and worked. What about the qu
People have done all kinds of things on all kinds of boats. Marry sailed across
the Atlantic on a 13 footer. ( good book: Tinkerbelle) but the back remains
that while Beneteaus and Hunters etc. are fine for their design parameters,
those parameters don't include serious sailing. They just aren't
Andrew Button that statement says all i need to know about Beneteau and
Hunter yachts. Confirmation of my limited assessment

Shawn,
Yes the CS36 T is a very good boat, built like a tank and a very descent
performer in its deep draft version. The 27 is a good 27 but not as fast as a
C&C and the CS30 is a nice option compared to a C&C 29 mkII, but not in the
league of the CS36 in my opinion.
But the 36 T hold their va
